OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH AND SCHOLARLY WORKS Background Professor Justice Nonvignon is the first Professor of Health Economics at a University in Ghana. He has over 15 years of experience in teaching, research and technical assistance to governments and development programmes. Professor Nonvignon joined the Department of Health Policy, Planning and Management at the School of Public Health in June 2009 as Tutor and rose through the ranks to become Professor of Health Economics in September 2021. He is currently on sabbatical leave from the University and serves as Acting Head of the Health Economics Programme (HEP) at the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, an autonomous technical health agency of the African Union based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. As foundation Head, Justice is leading the growth of the HEP into a continental programme that supports agencies and programmes, and African Union Member States, to leverage health economics capacity and evidence for policies. th Professor Nonvignon was born on 16 June, 1979 at Pokuase, near Accra, to the late Stephen Nonvignon Agbojou (an auto mechanic) and Bridget Nonvignon (a petty Trader). Professor Nonvignon started his schooling at Confidence Institutions at Pokuase. He then went to St. John's Junior High School (JHS), Accra New Town and later Pokuase District Assembly JHS. He started his secondary education at Benkum Senior High School at Larteh Akuapim and completed at St. John's Grammar School, Achimota in 1998. Professor Nonvignon then enrolled at University of Cape Coast (UCC) in 2000, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Degree in Economics (with 4
Geography minor) in 2004. In 2005, he gained scholarship from the African Economic Research Consortium, Nairobi, Kenya to study at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, from where he obtained a Master of Arts Degree in Economics in 2007. He later enrolled in a Doctor of Philosophy Degree programme at the School of Public Health, University of Ghana in August 2009 and completed in December 2011. He is Adjunct Faculty at Public Health Foundation of India and Strathclyde Business School, Scotland, having also previously served in a similar role at New York University College of Global Public Health. He is married to Angela Ofosuhemaa Nonvignon and they have been blessed with three children: Jaison, 12; Joses, 8; and Annaliese, 5. Justice worships at the Bethlehem Methodist Church at Pokuase. He loves singing and interacting with the youth. Apart from English, he speaks Swahili and French (intermediate proficiency) in addition to local Ghanaian language. Research focus Professor Nonvignon's primary research focus is on costing and economic evaluation and health technology assessments. He also has expertise and experience in health financing, efficiency analysis, impact evaluation, and health policy and systems analysis. In terms of disease focus, Professor Nonvignon's research spans communicable, noncommunicable diseases, including those of pandemic and epidemic potential. Justice's research has focused on micro level issues affecting vulnerable populations (such as children, the elderly and people with mental disorders), and macro level interventions that require health systems decisions, for example relating to introduction of vaccines, or broader health systems technologies. 5
Synopsis of research Economic evaluation, health technology assessments and efficiency analysis Under this broad theme, Justice's research has estimated the costs associated with interventions targeting communicable diseases (particularly malaria, HIV, other vaccine-preventable diseases) as well as non-communicable diseases (stroke, hypertension) and phenomena (such as pollution, etc.) that contribute to non-communicable diseases. His research has also estimated the cost of inaction i.e. the economic implications of policy inaction to address growing burden of diseases. In addition, his research has also estimated the costs and consequences of health interventions and provided decisionmakers with guidance on which alternative courses of action achieves optimal outcomes, including population health, at minimum opportunity cost. He has used a range of health economics methods and tools such as cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-benefit analysis and investment cases, and health technology assessments. Justice's most impactful work in this area includes his research on the costs and cost-effectiveness of home management of fevers in children, which was an early study confirming that treating non-severe fevers in children outside the hospital setting using trained community-based agents presents valuefor-money in reducing overall child mortality. In addition, that study was the first to demonstrate that, adding antibiotics to antimalarials was cost-effective in reducing overall mortality in children under age five. This study was undertaken as part of his PhD under the supervision of Professors Moses Aikins and John Gyapong as part of a randomized controlled trial involving over 12,000 children under five years in the 6
then Dangme West District of Ghana. The study provided evidence for the roll out of home-based care for childhood fevers by the National Malaria Elimination Programme in Ghana. Furthermore, Justice's research on the costs and cost-effectiveness of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal, The Gambia, Nigeria and Guinea is wellacknowledged in the global community and in World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, and provided evidence to support the continued use of SMC. His continued work in this area is extending to build the evidence base for future products for use in malaria chemoprevention. Justice has also undertaken research that provides evidence on the cost of RTS,S malaria vaccine. In addition, Professor Nonvignon's research on health technology assessments is used in institutionalization of HTA by countries across Africa, including in supporting implementation of COVID-19 vaccinations, HPV and Rotavirus vaccine introduction and switch decisions and childhood cancer care and reimbursements in Ghana, and continued implementation of paediatric surgical interventions in the Caribbean. Professor Nonvignon's research has also focused on the efficiency and productivity of health services and systems in Ghana and Botswana, as well as across multiple countries in Africa. His early work on the efficiency of non-referral hospitals in Botswana, funded by the WHO, provided useful guidelines to the country's discussions on the spread of health facilities. His recent work at the Africa CDC has focused on economic evaluation and health technology assessments of interventions relating to public health emergency preparedness and response, including assessing the costs and cost-effectiveness of 7
COVID-19 therapeutics and vaccination, travel and other related strategies, return on investments in laboratories. He is also leading efforts at developing continental guidance and supporting African countries to incorporate evidence into decision-making. Impact evaluations, monitoring and evaluation Professor Nonvignon's research on this theme focuses on evaluating the impact of health technologies, services, and interventions on health outcomes. In addition, he has led and contributed to studies on monitoring and evaluation of a wide range of health, population and nutrition programmes. His work in this area include evaluating the impact of interventions in malaria as well as maternal and child health. Health financing Professor Nonvignon's scholarly works on health financing spans a wide range of areas, including assessment of efficiency of country health financing systems, and public and private health expenditures as well as fiscal space for health. Justice also studies health financing transitions (domestic and donor) and how these are linked with and impact transition in disease and demography in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Justice often critiques the current architecture of development assistance for health (DAH), including how it often displaces domestic resource mobilization (DRM), and calls for a realignment of DAH to address critical public commons and unlock the potential of DRM. He has published on how national systems could leverage domestic financing sources, including making an investment case for private sector financing of critical health services and infrastructure. Through his work, he makes a strong case for LMIC governments to prioritize investments in health, while creating 8
conducive environments for private sector financing and reducing dependence on donor funding. Professor Nonvignon also evaluates the weaknesses and opportunities in health insurance as a critical tool for attaining universal health coverage in Africa. Health systems and policy analysis Professor Nonvignon's scholarly works in health systems and policy focus on broader health systems issues that impact the organization and delivery of health services to populations. These range from governance (particularly the challenges and outlook for global health governance) to leadership and the capacity of systems and policies to facilitate delivery of quality services for women and children, people with mental disorders, rural and urban poor and the elderly. Justice has also undertaken work that evaluates the mechanisms through which countries in Africa adopt and adapt global policies and targets to suit their contexts. Others Professor Nonvignon has also undertaken other studies that assess a wide range of issues relating to laborforce participation, quality of life (especially of the elderly and people with mental disorders), health and vulnerability to poverty and health service use. Professor Nonvignon has also contributed to several studies in other disciplines of public health including sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, implementation research, monitoring and evaluation, epidemiology and disease control. professor Nonvignon is co-investigator and Ghana Lead for the first study developing value sets for EQ-5D for Ghana, a tool used in measuring quality of life of a population, also used in economic evaluation. 9
